Y'all know I HAD to write this one.

It's a tongue-in-cheek look at the recent discussion on bumping posts.....

Quick write and even faster recording session.

POST BUMPING BLUES

References to persons real or fictional are intentional. Names were omitted to protect the guilty.

Put on some cans, and crank this baby up!!

Now.... to bump or not to bump...... hmmmmmmmmmmmm

Ahhh the lyrics.... almost forgot.

Post bumping blues

Just wrote a new song that everyone needs to hear
I'm begging everybody come lend me your ear.
Listen once or twenty times I really just don't care
Just leave a comment, and please feel free to share
Everybody needs to post to keep me up on top,
Last damn thing I need today is one more flop.
Ohhhhhh oh I got the Post Bumping blues

It's been an hour now and only three new views,
What are you waiting for, the nightly TV news?
I got no time today to play this childish game
Tomorrow's likely gonna be the same
Two more posts today and I can get it done
Come on people, I need to have my fun
Ohhhhhh oh I got the Post Bumping blues

Ohhhhhh oh I got the Post Bumping blues
Ohhhhhh oh I got the Post Bumping blues
Let me throw this out, there really ain't no doubt,
I wanna scream... Might even pull my own hair out.
Ohhhhhh oh I got the Post Bumping blues

My palms are getting sweaty and my eyes are growing dim,
It's hard to recall just where the hell I've been
Have I replied to one or maybe two?
It could be her, or it could be you
My song keeps sliding to the bottom of the page,
Got to give it one more shot and bump it up today
Ohhhhhh oh I got the Post Bumping blues

Ohhhhhh oh I got the Post Bumping blues
Ohhhhhh oh I got the Post Bumping blues
Don't wanna mention no names that might ruin the game
It's got a different title man but it sounds the same
Ohhhhhh oh I got the Post Bumping blues
Ohhhhhh oh I got the Post Bumping blues
Just one more time now...
Ohhhhhh oh I got the Post Bumping blues

ok I'm done I'm out..
oh wait, somebody else just posted....ha!
bump that sucker one more time
hahahaha

Well Done!!! Man, you should sing some blues more often. Super vocals. I'm hurrying to write this because I wanna be the first one to bump. Take that tongue out your cheek. Loved it, Tom PS- Don't fix it if it ain't broke!!!

Ok, this is GREAT! And yes, I am bumping it...

Bob

Ha ha! Excellent tongue in cheek Herb!

<<< Quote from the aforementioned thread >>>


"your best to date, another masterpiece, my favourite of yours to date, this is a keeper, this is fantastic,
you have surpassed yourself this time."

My comment is that most of the above is somewhat true.....

You kids and your vernacular. When I was a kid "bumping" meant something different.

So, what is this post you are referring to? Haven't seen it.

Seriously though, creative, well performed, and fast turn around. Maybe you are talking about the same kind of "bump" I'm thinking of?

Ha!! Ha!! So funny, but right on. Great job!!

Let's keep on bumping this up So funny lyrics and so true, really strikes my heart. Excellent vocals and really tight band. This is blues at its best.

Janne

Bump!

THAT'S funny!

This is, in fact, some of your best work. A "freer" write - a good Rock Blues lyric. A "freer" vocal. You've got the drums sounding good. And those vocals sit where they should. A good mix. (nice brick, btw - good and loud as it should be)

A good listen (other than the fact you are mocking many of the people who keep this forum going).

Power in perfection. Great tune. Thanks for listing. Rob

Loved this Herb. Super vocal and just loved your guitar work. Well done.

Hi Herb,

"your best to date, another masterpiece, my favourite of yours to date, this is a keeper, this is fantastic,
you have surpassed yourself this time."

Enjoyed your blues voice.
Bump Bump.

Cheers.

I think your vocals are terrific.

Bump.

Hrm.... This is actually quite good. Could be you need to spend less time on songs.

Can't wait until someone finds this in 2025 and it hits the top of the page again. (Which entirely by coincidence is the number of posts I've done to date).

Well done Herb! Very cool vibe and fun lyrics. This thread definitely deserves a bump

So.... group reply.... I ain't got time to bump every reply.... although I really am tempted just because of the title of the song.... I mean come on...right?

"Loved it....Well done...Best yet..... surpassed yourself....excellent....Quite good....Great job...." To everyone who listened and cracked a smile...... cause you know it's true.....THANK YOU ALL!!!

I have to reply to this:



Bwahahahahaha... now THAT's funny. First, I'm glad you thought it was a good listen. Nope, you got the second part wrong.... I have to disagree about the mocking part. If anyone was being mocked in this song, it was ME. Heck, I picked up the techniques on post bumping from..... well, I'll just leave that one blank.... perhaps you can figure it out. But first and foremost I was drawing from personal experience. I stand guilty as charged to bumping posts.... well, maybe not "bumping" because I have a personal rule that I only reply to a post if someone else has commented. No gratuitous bumping, as a rule. But yup... I have done individual replies to many...and I think many here do as well. Anyway.... this has been hashed to death in the other thread.... this is about the song and the song is about me.....with a bit of artistic license thrown in for good measure to make it interesting. However,as they say... if you think the shoe fits..... feel totally free to wear it.

Again... it's all in good faith and mutual respect for the people in this forum. I would not want to think that I was offending anyone with this song or this thread..... hopefully, everyone understands that and we can simply enjoy a cool song written solely for fun and entertainment.

OK.... I'm done for tonight.... maybe.

L.O.L. BRILLIANT !!

In my best Three Stooges voice "Hey, I resemble that remark"!

This is hilarious! This is super blues (you should do more blues by the way), vocal and lyrics. I'll bet you had a lot of fun doing this didn't you.

PS - I just bumped your song now you have to bump mine

Thanks again to the new listeners..... wow... this song has slipped to the middle of the second page.....


BUMP

Bwahahahahaha... now THAT's funny. First, I'm glad you thought it was a good listen. Nope, you got the second part wrong.... I have to disagree about the mocking part.

Well said, It seems today some people have lost the abiity to laugh, lighten up and see the humor in things. Some people are now the self designated conduct police of what's politically correct or not. Some people get offended at the least little thing. Unfortunately, our world becomes too dull if we can't laugh at ourselves and have fun anymore. Are comedians now a dying profession? The only people left to poke fun at are Appalachian hillbillies. I'll admit there were probably some times I have been the same way. I've also probably been guilty of "bumping" by individually replying, but I felt the need to be gracious when someone took the time to listen and comment.

Again "Bump"

I've noticed this too. I'm new here ... and I've been told it's polite to reply to everyone and .... well geez that could be exhausting for some of the more popular posts. It does seem like that's what at least a lot of people do. So I've tried to. But I almost feel like somehow I shouldn't be since it throws it back up to the top and bumps someone else's post down.

I actually replied yesterday to a couple of people on a couple of my songs, and it ended up bumping my brand new song down ... which was probably not good for people seeing it.

So I'm stuck with being polite one way or being polite a different way, and the two are opposing forces.

Still learning the ropes, I guess.

Can't please everyone all the time, maybe only please a few people some of the time. No good answer. Someone will always be disgruntled about something or someone. I guess follow your heart and ignore the zingers.

Incidentally, I am laughing my rear off ... AND ... it's very well done. Good job! And the vocals were awesome. I wish I could get that grit and growl in my voice.

A wonderful lyric to build a song around. It has a "Garden Party" ring of familiarity to it....

<<< Are comedians now a dying profession? >>> Yep.

<<< I actually replied yesterday to a couple of people on a couple of my songs, and it ended up bumping my brand new song down ... which was probably not good for people seeing it. >>>

Phil, the trick is to reply to everyone's post first and place a reply on your post last, bumping yourself to the top.

<<< I've also probably been guilty of "bumping" >>>

In my best 'guilt ridden voice', me too. I like to do it surreptitiously in code with "I'm late to the party...."

Cool Herb.

I was hearing some Santana in that guitar man.

This tune never goes out of style in here. I like this song.
C.Dan

This my first time listening, and I got a good chuckle Subject matter aside, I love that bluesy vibe here! Love the groove, love the progressions, love your vocals on it. I like how much energy it has too. You could say it definitely "bumps" :P

Great work, and thanks for sharing
